Abstract
The suppression and recovery of a consummatory response (licking a sugar solution) was studied as a function of three parameters: (a) whether punishment was contingent upon the act or not, (b) locus of punishment application (tongue vs paws), and (c) frequency (zero to six trials). Shock temporarily suppressed responding in all groups, but only the Contingent Paw Shock group differed from the Control group in recovery time. Some conceptual considerations are suggested.
